“I had a great time at this place! lovely people , great location, nice outdoor sitting.
The atmosphere was simply delightful, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a magnificent Clydesdale horse standing right outside, indulging in cherry pie – it was like something out of a dream! This place truly left a lasting impression on me, and I can't wait to return soon. with wonderful people and unexpected delights, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!“

“This is a very nice, clean and lowkey bar with slots and TVs throughout. I don’t come here to gamble, though. What keeps me coming back is their whiskey selection. They offer pours of so many high end bourbons at such a reasonable price. The service is great, too.“

“We had a party of eight and needed a place to eat on a Friday night. This place accommodated us, even though they were very busy. Really good food and the service was friendly and fast, esp considering how busy they were. A little loud, but it’s a bar and there was a Blues game on, so you kind of have to expect that. Our party had multiple different kinds of food, from some German dishes, to typical American faire, and all were happy with the quality. And the prices are very, very reasonable.“

“We are full-time RVers who, while traveling around the US, are in search of the best cheeseburger and have a rating system of The Best (only 1 rated), Very Good, Good, OK, and Not Impressed. While at our home base in Southern Illinois, we were in the Columbia, IL, area and Googled “hamburger restaurants.” We saw Washy’s Pub had good burger reviews, so decided to give them a try for lunch. Washy’s has a simple bar atmosphere with about a dozen tables. We ordered their Classic burger with me having American cheese and my wife pepperjack. We also requested lettuce, pickles, and sliced onions. The handmade patties were about 10 oz (good sized), nicely seasoned, cooked to order, charbroiled, and served on a nicely-toast fresh bun. I had their skinny-style battered fries and my wife had onion rings. The burgers came out hot and were super tasty due the meat seasoning. We’re not sure what seasoning they used, but it worked! My wife’s burger was just a tiny bit better than mine due the pepperjack they use. The fries and onion rings were among the best we’ve had as well. We rated the burgers (even without a special sauce), fries, and onion rings Very Good. The service was also top notch.“

“Super cute place! Our bartender was so kind and friendly! Plenty of the room on the patio! Biker friendly. Reasonable prices on drinks! *Cash only. ATM on site. Will def be back!“

“If you haven’t tried Terry’s tacos, you are missing out! They are awesome! Especially liked the chips.👍“
